OH, WHY 8HOULD THE SPIRIT OF MOR
TAL BE PROUD?
The following poem was President Lincoln's
favorite, and while he knew it by heart and
loved to repeat it he never learned the author's
name, although he was many years previous to
hii death anxious to do so:
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fast fleeting cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
Man passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves ol the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old, and the low and the
3hall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The infant a mother attended and loved,
The mother that infant's affection who proved,
The husband that mother and infant who blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwelling of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in
whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure, her triumphs are
by ;
And the memory of those who
praised,
Are alike from the nvnds of the living erased.
loved her and
The
hand of the king, that the sceptre hath
borne,
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn,
The eye of the sage, and the heart ol the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap,
The herdsman who climbed with his goats up the
steep,
The beggar who wandered in search of hisbread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of
heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just, .
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the
weed,
That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, eyen those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same that our fathers have been:
We see the same sights that o'ur fathers have
seen
We drink the same stream, and we view the
same sun.
And run the same course that our fathers have
run.
The thought we are thinking our lathers would
think;
From the death that we shrink from ocr fathers
would shrink;
To the life that we cling to they also would cling;
But it speeds for us all, like a bird on the wing.
They loved, but the storv we cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is
cold;
They grieed, but no wail from their slumbers
w 11 come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their gladness is
dumb.
They died, av I they died; and we things that
are now,
Who walk over the turf that lies on their brow,
Who make in their dwelling a transient abode,
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrim
age road.
Yesl hope and despondency, pleasure and pain,
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song and the
dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
Tis the twink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a
breath,
From the gilded saloon to the bier, and the
shroud
O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
A REWARD OF GENIUS.
"Married I My papa married? I have
a stepmother? Surely, aunt, you are mis
taken!" And the speaker, a dark-eyed,
handsome girl, looked surprised and in
credulous. "But it is quite true, for I have just
received a letter from your papa, and he
wrote that he had married a dainty dar
ling from the New England States, and
he sends his love to his precious Olla,
and wants her to welcome her new
mamma and love her for his sake. I
hope you will be happy together," added
the aunt, kindly, and she mean't what
she said, for she had been friend, mother
and counsellor to Olive Desmond for
five years, and although Olive was only a
distant relative, she loved her as though
she had been her own daughter.
"Oh aunt! Papa married!"
There was a world of woe in Olive's
voice as she repeated the words.
"Yes, your papa is really married.
Surely you are not annoyed or angry,
Olive?"
"Annoyed or angry?" repeated Olive,
her black eyes growing blacker, and her
scarlet cheeks more scarlet than ever.
"Oh, auntie, I am shocked and hurt be
yond expression! The idea of papa's
marrying and bringing a stepmother to
take my angel mamma's place in our old
home, and
But Olive's words were interrupted by
the entrance of a gay young fellow of
about twenty years of age, the handsome
stepson of her aunt, Crertrude Vaughan
He was a little wild, perhaps, as his only
occupation now was the cultivation 01 a
stunted mustache. But he was a good
hearted fellow, and full of fun.
"Why, Olla, practicing for the
boards?" were his first words as he saw
indignant Olive. "By jove! you do the
errand traced v well!
'Don't talk nonsense, Frank! This is a
serious matter at least to Olive it is,"
said his stepmother.
"Whew! well, just wait till I get my
handkerchief. Mow I m ready to weep
Tell me the worst. I'm prepared for it.'
And Gertrude told him of Olive's
father's marriage, and of Olive's angry
sorrow at the thought of having a step
mother.
"Well, ain't that enough to make any
one angry?" asked Frank. "Words can't
do the subject justice. Look at me, my
beloved cousin, and shudder! Am I not
a surviving specimen of the tyrannical
rule of a stepmother? I would shed tears
for you, Olive, but I have nsed up all I
bad to spare on my sorrowful self."
"Now you are just laughing at me,
said Olive, half crying.
"Laughing! No, indeed! There isn't
even the faintest shadow of a smile about
me. This serious affair and my sincere
pity for yon has given me gravity enough
to last a lifetime, and plenty to spare to
set up four deacons with the article.
Ohve was disgusted, and she left the
room with all the dignity she could
command.
Frank gave his stepmother a hasty
kiss, and muttered something about
leaving the matter to him; he knew "how
to manage Olla," and followed his cousin
into the garden.
"I say, Olla," began Frank, as he
flung himself on the grass beside her,
"why don't you get married too, and be
even with the governor?"
"The idea!" pouted Olive. "I
wouldn't get married for anything! And
besides, there is no one to marry me,
even if I wanted to get married."
"Well, now, I call that treating a fel
low rather coolly. Here I've been yonr
devoted slave and admirer for the last
two months, only to be snubbed in this
way. Bnt 'sich is life,' and T suppose I
shall have to stand it."
"Why,I never thought of you.Frank,"
answered Olive.
"You didn't? Well.now, that's queer.
And thn I suppose you haven't the as
surance to nrooose to a fellow, so I'll I
offer myself. Now, my beloved cousin,
I lay my heart, hand and fortune at
your feet, and throw myself into the
bargain. Say that magical word, and
your humble servant will consider that
he has been transported into the seventh
heaven."
"What a simpleton you are, Frank!"
said Olive. "The idea of of onr getting
married! I am going to marry some
great and distinguished man."
"Just my ticket," was the nonchalant
reioinder. "I am. or was. going to
marry some beautiful and accomplished
lady, but, being very philanthropic in
my disposition, i conducted to sac
rifice myself. Yet if you won t have me,
I guess I shall achieve my early ambi
tion." "If conceit was of money value I
think you could pay off the national
debt, Frank," said Olive with a smile.
"Don't be personal," replied Frank,
"bnt shake hands and make up and talk
about stepmothers. What are yon going
to do about the matter? Receive them
with open arms and be happy, or pout
and let them coax yon?"
"Neither!" said Olive, the angry
gleam flashing in her black eyes again.
"I am going away where they won't see
me.
"And let concealment like a worm "
"Do be serious for just one minute!"
interrupted Olive, completely exas
perated with his bantering tone. What
would von do if you were in my place,
Frank?""
"I might relate to you my experi
ence." "Don't!" interrupted Olive. "We've
listened to that often enough already.
And just remember that Aunt Gertie is
an ideal stepmother, and not like other
stepmothers."
"Well," said Frank, with borrowed
gravity, "the first thing in consideration
is the terrific fact that your father's wife
is now a stepmother. That is a crime of
itself. When a lovely and amiable
woman becomes a stepmother she is im
mediately transformed into all that's
evil. But then this woman a week ago
was not a stepmotner, ana may do tne
hoofs and horns haven't sprouted yet.
So I think you had better receive your
father s wife. I II be around to protect
on in case of an'emergency."
The tears began to moisten Olive's
dark eyes.
"You haven't one bit of feeling for me,
Frank!" she said, piteously.
"Now you wouldn't say that, Olla, if
you could see the frantic struggle that's
going on under my left vest pocket; but
seriously, little coz, the wise thing to do
is to see yonr father's wife and give her
a fair trial; take her on trial, at least,
and when everything is lovely you can
thank me for being yonr wise counsellor
in your hour of trouble."
"You're a heathen, Frank, and I'm go
ing away to-morrow." And away walked
Olive, looking very indignant and feel
ing very miserable.
She was as good as her word, and next
day she went on a visit to friends in New
England, to be gone for an indefinite
length of time. It was all to no purpose
that her aunt expostulated, coaxed,
argued, and even scolded, for Olive was
very wilful and determined when she
choose to be.
But Olive must not be blamed too
harshly. It seemed a terrible fact that
her father had married at all, and to
marry without her knowledge or consent
was too awful to be endured; so she de
termined to punish him by not seeing
his wife. Olive had sometimes thought
that it would be very nice to have some
one to love her in her mamma's place
some one that would turn their grand,
servant-ruled mansion back into the
groove that mamma had kept it in.
Yet Olive did not pause to think, but
acted on the rash impulse of wounded
feeling, and when Mr. and Mrs. Des
mond came they found that their daugh
ter had fled as from a plague.
A month after Olive Desmond had
taken her sudden departure she was sit
ting on the porch of a New England
farm-house, trying- very hard to be
miserable, and succeeding admirably.
"Oh, dear!" she sighed. "I wish I
had staved at Aunt Gertie's and seen
papa's wife, anyhow. She couldn't have
hurt me, and I might have learned to
like her iust a little."
Olive was about ready to indulge in a
good cry when a servant brought her a
letter. The letter was from Frank
Yaughan, and he wrote that she might
"return now. as the coast was clear, and
no sign of the enemy present," and that
he would be "body-guard and prevent
bloodshed in case of a sudden attack,"
and he really hoped she would come
back, as he was most "confoundedly
lonely." '
Olive was only too glad of an invita
tion to return, and in a few days she was
reinstated at Aunt Gertrude Yaughan's.
Two or three days passed, and one after
noon Olive was seated in a favorite nook
in the garden, trying to think what was
the wisest course to pursue with regard
to her step-mother, when her meditations
were interrupted by Frank rushing up to
her and whispering, mysteriously:
"She's come!"
"Who has come ?" asked Olive.
"Haven't you heard? Didn't mother
toll you that her niece was coming to
visit her ?" queried Frank.
"Oh!" said Olive, looking relieved.
"Well, she has come, and of course
you'll think she is dreadful. But con
sider your self a martyr, and try to make
the best of it."
Contrary to Frank's prediction, Olive
was wonderfully pleased with this niece
of Aunt Gertrude's. She had never heard
of her before, but she was too much in
terested in the Edith of the present to
inquire about the Edith of the past. To
Ohve, Edith Harvey seemed like a living
portrait of those rarely beautiful women
one seldom sees outside a picture frame.
She was rather tall, slender and graceful,
with a pink and lily complexion, and an
aureola of golden hair waved naturally.
Even her name was u favorite name with
Olive, and it seemed to suit Edith Har
vey exactly. It was wonderful how their
friendship progressed. The quiet, win
ning disposition of Edith, and the loving,
impetuous nature of Olive, seemed to
find an affinity in each other.
One, two, three and four weeks crept
by before the agitated question of step
mother was fully settled. Olive was
going home to see her, that she decided
herself, because Edith thought she had
better go, and to Olive, Edith Harvey's
opinion was paramount to all others.
Olive prevailed upon Edith to go with
her to see her new mamma, and Frank
went too, as he didn't consider it safe for
female lovliness and innocence to travel
unprotected. When the two arrived at the
Desmond mansion, they were told by a
servant that "Mr. and Mrs. Desmond
were out, bnt wonld be in presently.
Olive assigned Edith to a guest cham
ber and told her to look as pretty as pos
sible, and together they would, eclipse
Mrs. Desmond.
"You should try to love Mrs. Des
mond, instead of trying to eclipse her,"
said Edith gravely.
"Oh, yon don't know her!" aaid Olive,
with a stdffled sob, "Now, if she was only
like you Edie, it would be different. But
we can't help it now." And Olive shut
her lips resolutely as she left the
room.
Flive dressed herself elaborately, pre
paritory to meeting Mrs. Desmond. Her
trailing robe was of garnet velvet, and
garnet jewels glittered on her hair,
around her throat and arms, and tiny
stars of garnets swung in her ears.
When Olive went down to the parlor,
it was with the haughty air of a queen
prepared to overwhelman offending sub
ject. But her assumed hauteur deserted
her when she entered the parlor. For
whom should she see but Edith Harvey,
looking rarely lovely, clad in blue silk,
with pearl ornaments, and standing very
ulnae to Pana Desmond, and Papa Des
mond's arm was actually around her
slender waist.
Olive was speechless with astonish
ment, and before she could recover her
self Mr. Desmond explained matters by
saying-" , .
"Olla, my darling, this is my wife,
Edith, my love, this is my daughter,
Olive."
"Beally and truly?" gasped Olive.
"Yes really and truly," said Papa Des
mond, with a smile.
"It seems too good to be true," said
Olive, kissing Edith and calling her
mother.
"Then vou are not angry at the decep
tion we practiced?" asked Mrs. Desmond.
"Angry! No, indeed! I'm over
joyed! But whatever made you think of
it?'
'It was Frank who planned it all, re
plied Mrs. Desmond.
"Yes Ulla, said Tanit coming ior-
ward, "I cannot tell a lie. I planned the
awful web for you to get entangled in.
There don't try to thank me. Words
won't do the subject justice. I know I'm
too good for this world, but 1 m willing
to live a hundred years or so for the
good of the rest of mankind and woman
kind also."
"Well, you are just a darling any
way, declared unve.
"Dear me," soliloquized Frank.
"There is no accounting for the fickle
ness of the female mind. Not two months
ago I was called a heathen for suggest
ing the present state ot amurs. -out 1 m
thankful for the' fact that I'm appreci
ated. Thev sav genius is born to be
snubbed, but there has been an exception
to the rule in my favor."
After Olive was satisfied that there was
no mistake, and beautiful Edith Harvey
was her much hated step-mother ,she be
gan to wonder if step-mothers were
really such dreadful creatures, after all,
and appealed to Frank for his opinion;
but Frank told her that words were use
less when two innocent victims like them'
selves were proof against that extraordi
narv evil, a "step-mother."
The next day Olive was sitting by a
window, looking dreamily out on the
landscape.
"What are you doing, Olla?" queried
Frank.
"Thinking," replied Olive.
"Don't do it any more, Olla; great and
sudden changes are not beneficial."
Olive's Grecian nose took an elevated
Dosition. and Frank continued, "I've
been thinking too, Olla."
"How strangel" replied Olive sarcas
tically. "I thought phenomena were
not in fashion till eighteen hundred and
eightv-one."
"I've been thinking, Olla," resumed
Frank, "that in this little affair concern
ing stepmothers I have proved myself a
genius, and genius should be rewarded."
"Genius seeks its own reward," said
Olive.
"Hem! Then I'll take you," said Frank.
"That is," he continued soberly and
earnestly, "if my darling little Olla will
have no objections. And don't you
think you could love me just a little
"I don't want to love yon a little," re
plied Olive, "but a great deal."
And well, they said a good many
more loving and foolish things, and six
months later Mr. Desmond gave the
bride away, and Frank Vaughan declared
himself satisfied with his reward cf
genius.
The Pleasures of Business.
A Blessing-.
Sancho Panza blessed the man who
invented sleep. So do our leading society
belles bless the memory of the late Dr.
T. V. Gouraud, who taught them bow to
be beautiful. Everyone should do all in
bis power to supplement nature in adorn
ing the person, and a fine complexion is
not given to all; and just here art aids
nature, and all who use Dr. T.F. Gouraud's
Oriental Cream, or Magical Beautifier,
know its value, and bow the skin that is
freckled, tanned, pimpled, or moth
patched can be made like the new born
babe's. ' To those who will use toilet
preparations it is recommended by physi
cians, as the Board of Health has declared
it free from all injurious properties, and,
as it is on sale at all druggists, and fancy
goods stores, it is an easy matter to give
it a trial, and thus win the approbation of
men, as well as the- envy of ladies.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not in
the mere accumulation of riches, but in
being able to acquire wealth with a dis
position to apply it in such a manner
that it shall be a comfort and blessing to
others not in the mere giving away of
money, but in putting people in a way
to labor and help themselves. There is
no pleasure in oppression. There is no
joy in grinding and exaoting gold from
the poor; but there is a great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to offer
steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have noth
ing to do. Oue of the greatest enjoyment
of the prosperous business man consists
in being able to comfortably provide for
the many employes in his house or manu
factory. In doing this' he is fulfilling
his obligations to society; he becomes a
useful and honored citizen; business to
him is a real pleasure; he enjoys his suc
cess when it is fairly won because he
feels that he deserves it.
When the business man has the right
kind of a purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels a just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude of those
whom he directs and controls in the
management of Ms affairs, and he feels
that in benefiting himself he is confer
ing a favor upon others. Criterion.
Dr. Day says in a late lecture: What
ever be the plan of treatment decided
upon, rest is the first principle to incul
cate in very severe headache. Best,
which the busy man and anxious mother
cannot obtain so long as they can man
age to keep about, is one of the first
remedies for every headache, and we
should never cease to enforce it. The
brain, when excited, as much needs
quiet' and repose as a fractured limb or
an inflamed eye; it is obvious that the
chances of shortening the seizurepnd
arresting the pain will depend on our
power to have this carried out actually.
It is a practical lesson to keep steadily
in view that there may lurk behind a
simple headache some lesson of unknown
magnitude, which may remain station
ary if quietude can be maintained. There
is a point worth attending to in the
treatment of all headaches. It is that
the head be elevated at night, and the
pillow hard; for if it be soft the head
sinks into it and becomes hot, which,
with some people, is enough to provoke
an attack in the morning if sleep has
been long and heavy,
A largl train ot evils always follow
from Indigestion, and the best cure for
that disease is to use Rose Pills. One
each night will cure the most obstinate

be found, and sometimes small particles of albumen
will appear, or the color will be of a thin mllkish hue,
again changing to a dark and torp'd appearance.
